Estimate
...Powerful red fruit liqueur, incense, exotic spice and potpourri aromas are energized by a bright mineral quality that gains strength as the wine opens up. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, offering alluringly sweet raspberry, candied rose and spicecake flavors and hints of succulent herbs and cola. Rich yet energetic in style, showing no rough edges. Finishes with silky, well-knit tannins and outstanding persistence, leaving sweet rose pastille, red berry and allspice notes behind...
...good verve to the delicious, intense and tautly muscular flavors that are quite tightly wound and compact on the very firm finale. This is a complete baby and manifestly built-to-age and as such is absolutely going to require extended cellaring, indeed a decade's worth is recommended. (June 2018)
One of the greatest characteristics Russ finds in our proprietary yeast that he “isolated” from a bottle of 1986 Jayer Echezeaux is the velvety texture it imparts on the wines. While we use that yeast in every Pinot Noir we make, the texture it imparts is particularly notable in this wine.
